The Great High Priest

Contributed by Lee Henry on Aug 13, 2006

The Christian’s High Priest is better than the high priest under the Law of Moses because he is both God and Human so that we can draw near to the throne of Grace with confidence for help in time of need.

The Great High Priest Heb. 4:14-16 The theme of the book of Hebrews can be phrased in one word . . . BETTER. The book is one comparison after another of Christ and the things the Jews revered. For instance, in 1:4-7, Jesus is declared to be better than the angels. In 3:1-6, Jesus as a son is ...read more

Free From The Law

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jul 16, 2014

This statement, "You are not under law," has been misinterpreted to free people as freedom from any obligation to the revealed law of God." Free from the law is not a license to sin but the liberty to serve and obey from love not compulsion.

Free From the Law Romans 8:1-11 Romans 6:14 contains these words "...for ye are not under the law, but under grace." This words have become, as John McArthur, points out "a sort of an open door for all kinds of misdeeds and misbehavior. This statement, "You are not under law," has been ...read more

Control Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013

Control. We bristled under the thought that someone else might be controlling us. And we revel in the thought that we can control our lives. In fact, many of us, if we’re honest, are control freaks.

Control Philippians 2:7-8; Romans 12:1 Dave Navarro has written an article entitled, “The 5 People Who Secretly Control Your Life.” In it, he says, what you may not realize is just how many people influence your life, feeding you ideas about what is “right,” ...read more

For those of you who value preaching you will love these verses. It was the preaching of these, so called, “minor prophets” Haggai and Zechariah that the work flourished. The whole time, now under their preaching the people were working with diligence.

The temple, we call Solomon’s Temple, was destroyed and laid in ruin during the seventy-year ...read more
